    Install the program on your c drive and then work with your movies and video off of your new drive. Normally you should run your programs off of the drive that the os is on.

    Put a 5Gb partition on your new drive and put your Windows Swap file there. It will free up a bit of space on your C drive and will improve performance should the drive get fragmented with files.

    If you are talking about the paging file, also called swap file (virtual memory): Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance (Settings) > Advanced >Virtual Memory> Change. The setting for location, etc. are there.
